Painted Roof

There are many known benefits of painting a roof not the least of which is prolonging the life of your roof. Additionally different paints and sealers can provide a wide array of benefits from waterproofing to insulating qualities. In this article I want to focus on aesthetics.

Recently I have been involved with an association that prides itself on it’s neat, pristine appearance.  As such, it does not take much to stand out like a sore thumb if something isn’t up to snuff with your property. In this case, some roofs have been damaged and repaired from storms resulting in miss matched tiles and unsightly stucco and grout issues.

Though some of the roofs are older they are not leaking and do not yet warrant a replacement. However time and wear and tear have caused the tiles themselves to lose their color while the sun is continuously breaking down the cement tiles. This is a perfect scenario to use roofing paint. What these roofs need are U.V. protection, resistance to surface mold and pigment , in a word, roof paint. Finding the right color to fit in with the other homes can be a bit of a chore. Most paint suppliers will color match any color you bring to them. In the picture below you will see a  painted roof sandwiched between two homes with new roofs. I believe the color works perfectly.
